My goal is to generate cash flow outside my full-time job, specifically through buy and hold multi-family properties.

What you have/are doing is my goal as well.

I view every property for rent on my street as a competitor and my goal is to crush the competition.

We want to invest in buy and hold properties, but we feel that pursuing this strategy will better benefit our long-term goal due to the potential cash flow and appreciation of a property (if we buy right).

I am also just getting started and find it amazing how so many members are willing to help you reach your goals.  

I'm looking to get into this for the cash flow in the short term, with the goal to be able to help put my kids through college, and ultimately be able to enjoy life as my family matures.I'm in the Michigan / Metro Detroit area, but am also looking at long distance investing as an option. 

The end goal is to have a substantial amount of passive income as well as build equity, to have additional security for my family in case something were to ever happen to myself or my job.  

I think what I need to be doing is reassessing my goals.

My goal is to start building extra passive/cashflow. 

My goal is to learn as much as I can and hopefully have some rental properties bought by this time next year.
